Having gotten permission from The Palentine to modify/redraft his original proposal, here's my version (in the IC format that I'm most comfortable writing in):
I'm happy to provide specific links/evidence where needed, but all of the details I got regarding the passed legislation was from here. Artichokeville's existence was first revealed, I think, here. Opinions are, of course, greatly appreciated. (note: If you want to see all of the specific editing notes from Version I and/or Version II, I have the details here on the NS Forums. I'd do the same here, but the BB code isn't exactly the same, and I can't say that I have the patience to sort through what is and is not the same ... apologies) Edited by mousebumples, Mar 15 2010, 04:23 PM.

You've got my support -- at the moment, I only have two small qualms.
Grammar? No?
You should change that to... "OVERLOOKING the other, less honorable contributions that members..." Edited by unibot, Mar 12 2010, 06:12 PM.

Grammar has been improved upon - although I'm not sure if Destructor Bunnies should or should not be capitalized. (It refers to a puppet of Yelda's, right?) And I used your "OVERLOOKING" suggestion a bit differently than you perhaps intended, but I think it works out better, overall.
Many thanks for your support! Edited by mousebumples, Mar 13 2010, 04:32 AM.

I'm not sure either. They're RPed characters that I've used with Yelda and Iron Felix both on the Jolt and NS forums and in RPs at AO. There would be no reason to even mention the 'nation' of Destructor Bunnies because it's never done anything. The characters came first, the nation was created much later. Whenever I mention them I always capitalize the name though, I guess it's sort of like how you always capitalize the names of musical groups and football teams. That said, I don't think it really matters if they are capitalized in the commendation, just go with whatever you think looks right. |

Hrm, thanks for the input, Yelda. I'm thinking that I'll probably then end up de-capitalizing them - if only so that it looks more parallel (or at least less different) with the other items in that list. Thanks for the contribution! |

The draft has been updated again (V.III), and I've also added a linked re: the first mention (so far as I know) regarding Artichokeville. I'm likely to submit this proposal on Monday morning, pending other developments. (i.e. a need for greater editing/redraft) Thanks so much for all of your consideration and support! |

I'm fairly sure Artichokeville was around before that post you linked to, but it'd take an AOer to tell you where it originated from. |

Oh, it goes back a lot further than that! (I think it originated when the Kennyite president first tried to pronounce Ardchoille's name*.)Heh, "Artichokeville." Yet another NSUN/WA meme to have taken on a life (and nationhood) of its own. *EDIT: Here ya go, precious!

D'oh! Of course, I forgot to check Jolt! I just did a search on the NS boards, and that was the earliest post that I found. I thought that that discovery thread (linked above) seemed a bit off as it was quoting something, so ... yeah. Ooops? Many thanks for the additional information/links!
